lalate Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 come on, now, late! don't cop out on me ! i want some personal recommendations from fellow cpers!I know nothing about about OC dining. But opentable is a great site, because it links you ever to review sites where people, not just editors, on these other sites give you the ditty on the spot.

theseeker1981 Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Okay, here are my pics:Octopus sushi in Burbank. Nothing fancy, but Amazing quality for the price.Paru's vegetarian indian in hollywood: Don't let the neighborhood bother you, I've lived near by for 3 years no problem and they have a neat little fenced in garden/patio.Nepalian in pasadena: Tibetan food rocks. It is under new managment and I don't love the food as much as i used to but it is still good eats.The counter in SanMon: I used to work across the street from this place and I have been going there since day one. Build your own gourmet burger. My favorites are either a bacon burger with gruyer, bbq and grilled peppers or the turkey burger with cranberries, pineaple and apricot sauce. Get the onion rings.Eat a pita in hollwood: good chicken kabob, 'nuff said.Skooby's hotdog's, Molly's burgers and the juice fountain and Lala's argentinian in hollywood.Mashti Malone's rose petal ice creamHaving trouble remmembering all my favorite places, I don't go out to eat much anymore.

weyes Posted July 18 Author Report Share Posted July 18 Eat a pita in hollwood: good chicken kabob, 'nuff said...and Lala's argentinian in hollywood...i've been to eat-a-pita, and we had a classic sparsely-attended cp meetup at lala's once.thanks SO much for those recommendations! i'll have to try them sometime.huh? when and why did you move to the OC! you're on the OTHER team now...dont talk to melol j/k...but now you must hardly ever go up to hollywood, no??i moved down here in '04, silly! yes, it's changed my life dramatically. i wasn't going out all that much then, though, 'cause i was making barely enough money to get by. it didn't even matter that i lived in la 'cause i couldn't afford to take advantage of it. i decided to move in with my best friend and escape my insane roommate, even though it meant i had to move to orange county. it does mean that we're less likely to go out, though .but i'm going to giant village !!!
